Mother's Day Card Making Challenge with Paper Garden

May 7, 2018

You all know I love a great challenge. I'm participating the Mother's Day Card Making Challenge with Paper Garden. This challenge is all about cards fro mom and is unique as there are prizes for the winning card.

My card features handmade 3D flowers in shades of purples. I used a scallop circle punch to created these flowers. The greeting is hand stamped using the Make A Difference alphabet stamp set from Stampin' Up! (available in a bundle now!).

Are you ready to see all the entires and vote? See cards below - the entries close on May 10th. I would love if you would consider casting a VOTE for my card (number 15). THANK YOU! - Charlet

Share What You Love Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop #2

May 1, 2018

SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE ARTISAN BLOG HOP - ROUND 2

Welcome back. Did you catch the first round of the Share What You Love Artisan blog hop? The Artisan design Team is back to share even more projects using the bundles from the SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE promotion. These bundles are available to purchase today, RIGHT NOW!

My projects today use items from the Just Getting Started bundle (149526). This bundle is perfect for the beginning crafter who wants to start stamping and create quick and simple cards. This bundle includes everything you need to make these cards, including a clear block for mounting your stamps. It's amazing what can be created only using Stamps, Ink and Paper.

I created a variety of simple notecards and then packaged them together with a cute little belly band. Shown above. This notecard package will make a lovely gift for a friend. Cute, eh? Are you ready to see the note cards?

Card making does not need to be time consuming. If you are just starting out you can achieve fantastic results in minutes. Each of these first two cards can be created in a minute. These cards use a technique called generation stamping, sometimes called 'stamping off'. To achieve this look stamp your image in full strength ink on a sheet of scratch paper first to removed some of the ink density, then stamp onto your project.

These next two cards take only a few minutes to complete and involve more generation stamping and a little hand cutting (sometimes called fussy cutting). I find scissor cutting to be relaxing. Do you?
BTW - Ink colors used, and included in this bundle, are Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive. Paper color is Very Vanilla.

These last cards can be achieved in under 5 minutes but are not any more difficult to create, just include more stamping and more cutting which takes more time. I've created simple backgrounds by repeatedly stamping the same image over and and over to create a pattern. Stamps, Ink & Paper BABY! Easy peasy.

The Just Getting Started bundle includes:
Love What You Do Stamp Set · Grapefruit Grove Ink Pad · Old Olive Ink ·
Very Vanilla Notecards & Envelopes · Very Vanilla Cardstock · Clear Block E

Check out the flyer at the end of this post for a
full list of items in each bundle and ordering information.

Here are a couple more 5 minute or less cards. The options are endless!

This means if you purchase any of the bundles you would have everything you need to recreate the specific projects we share that were made from that bundle. Cool, right?

Check out the flyer at the end of this post for a full list of items in each bundle and ordering information.

My projects today use items from the Gotta Have It All bundle (149526). This bundle is perfect for the AVID crafter who wants to spend a little more time crafting.

This bundle includes a new script alphabet stamp set called Make a Difference. I am already so in love with this stamp set. Each project I made features a unique sentiment created from the alphabet (For You, I Adore You, Hello, Happy Life). The script is elegant and whimsical with a bouncy baseline making it so easy to line up each letter.

Are you peeking new and returning colors? EEE! More details in a future post coming soon. You should note that included in these bundles is the new INCOLOR ink pad called Grapefruit Grove. It's a gorgeous color and is quickly becoming my new number 1.
